Everything you want is close by - 9/11/2018
We lived in a big house on the West Hill of Auburn and then moved to a small rambler amid the big houses on the East Hill of Auburn. So we've lived within the city of Auburn for a total of about 19 years. We think the population and traffic have increased the most over the last five years. There are more people and traffic moving in every day. It is being filled up with new construction. But Auburn still has open spaces. On the east hill there is a large area of land around GRCC college that will not be developed because it's owned by the Department of Natural Resources. The wooded trails there are nice for mountain biking or walking. The Green River runs through the middle of Auburn down in the valley and the White River cuts through the south end of the valley. There are nice parks to visit on the riversides.
Auburn's location provides easy access to HWY 18, HWY 167 and Interstate 5, Auburn is located about midway between Tacoma and Seattle downtown areas but Mt. Read More

Best place to live and raise a family! - 2/26/2016
Hello,
I have lived in Auburn WA for about 8 years or so, Auburn is a great place to live, full of awesome people and awesome everyday

A Great Place to Eat in Auburn WA.- A New Restaran - 3/1/2010
Not only is the Golden China Buffet a great place to eat but the price is right in these days where we are all looking for a good place to eat with a price that we all can afford. The service is some of the best I have had in a long time espeically at a buffet. Usually the food is dried out and you have to wait for the trays to be filled, not at this resarant. I have been there twice now since it opened and both times I was very pleased.
The prices are exceptional at Lunch being $6.99 and Dinner being $9.99 for all you can eat.
the address is 502 15 st. NE Auburn WA 98002

This is a place I will take guests out to dinner without breaking my pocketbook and can leaved with a full belly and no Read More

Why I enjoyed Auburn - 10/28/2009
Out of the many cities I've lived in, I've enjoyed Auburn the most. I'm an outdoor person so living right next to a bike trail was like heaven for me. I would bike and roller blade with any spare time I had. If I wanted to go camping, a one or two hour drive would bring me to a spot suited for hiking, camping, hunting, fishing, and swimming. Having the option to ski or go to the beach without having to travel a great distance is also a plus that I haven't had in many other cities. Although, my permanent residence is now in Wichita Falls Texas where I have more people to share my political and moral views, I will always love traveling back to this area in Washington to take in the beauty around Read More
